Showing in Birmingham

Yesterday was an extremely long and busy day- third year Fine Art and Fine Art Illustration hung our show at the Custard Factory in Birmingham. There were moments when I didn't think it would come together (for example, at about 11am, with seven and a half hours till the opening night when all the work was still packed up in the middle of the room!) but when it was finished it looked great!


My work was quite easy to hang (although there were a few complications because the walls were harder than expected!) and I was really pleased with how they looked in the end:


Etching and aquatint on Magnani Litho 310gsm. Series of 4 pieces titled 'Space and Form I, II, III, IIII", 2012.

This has been a great experience in understanding what will be important for the degree show. I think this work looks at about the right scale to be unframed, but I think that smaller works for the degree show will need to be framed to have the right impact.
Fingers crossed that the rest of Intermission will be as successful as the opening night! It's on 9.30am to 7.30pm until Sunday 19th February.
